I've just turned 30 today, 3rd January and it's a little bit different this time. For awhile now, I've been having birthdays and I felt that everything was as it should be. This time round, I realized that time flew. It was just yesterday that it felt like I was back in high school where I can look out the window and see students playing basketball over the field while I waited for the teacher to arrive for her class. So many memories, so many people that come and go in my life and I'm blessed.
I'm blessed to be still alive and living above the poverty line. That's the best that any could wish for. Having a roof over my head, hot meals on the table whenever and wherever I want them, and a good job. The right amount of friends, good ones, not surface ones and still a lot of time left ahead of me.
Over the years I've learned many valuable lessons, one of it is to 'not force it' with relationships. I've made many friends along the road but many times, you can just feel it in your gut that they're not just fit with you and that's okay. Some people are just going to be a waste of your time or just a name on your facebook list. I learned that at 30, I have no time for these people and I want to spend more time with people who means more and are true. So I filter my facebook profile every now and then so it doesn't get cluttered with nonsense. Why would I want people who have no intention of being my friend on my facebook right?
I lookout for the ones who wish me happy birthday today because I know that they actually put in that 10 seconds to write it to me. I always remember these and these are the ones I'm talking about that will stay.
Honestly I don't feel 30. More like 28 or 29 but with more to life that's coming, I'm pretty sure i'll look 30 soon enough. Maybe when bitcoin has given me enoungh coverage for the next few years, i'll remain looking 28.
Funfact : Did you know bitcoin's first block produced is also on my birthday? 3rd January.
I'm just writing this post as just another milestone in my life so I can read back next time whenever or if peakd or hive is still around. Anyways, I got to get going to enjoy my birthday to the fullest today.
Hope you have a great 2021 week ahead!
